FLORENCE—Lacy Starling isliving her dream.
The 33-year-old entrepre-neur and mother, sits poised,but relaxed, in the office of Le-gion Logistics in Florence. Sheis the president of the of the $15million company, a third-partylogistics organization that helpscustomers, large and small, ar-range for the transportation oftheir freight.
“It’s overwhelming,” shesaid of the success her business
has seen in just four years. “Igrew up on a farm in Ohio with-out anything. To wake up nowandknowthat I runa$15millioncompany… it never really sinksin. I get an immense feeling ofsatisfaction working every dayto make this business better.”
Starling has brought thebusiness from the ground floorup, quite literally. She startedLegion Logistics in the base-mentofherUnionhome in2009.Since then, the business hasgrown fromoneemployee to 28,has moved from a basement tothe third floor of an office com-
plexat 600MeijerDrive inFlor-ence; and from$600,000 to $15.2million in sales. More growth ison the way.
LegionLogistics is looking todouble the size of its staff, add-ing 24 new full-time positions.The company recently askedthe Florence City Council tosupport their participation inthe Kentucky Business Invest-ment Program.
The business investmentprogram is a performance-based incentive that allowscompanies to keep a portion oftheir investment through cor-porate income tax credits andwage assessments by meetingjob and investment targets. Inorder for the deal to fall into
place, Legion Logistics needsapproval for income tax incen-tives from the city and county.
Florence’s payroll tax rate is2 percent, but the city plans tooffer Legion Logistics an occu-pational license fee credit equalto .5 percent, for 10 years, onwages for new Kentucky resi-dent employees.
Florence economic develop-ment director Josh Wice said,the city is happy to support thisbooming young business.
“Legion Logistics is a primeexample of how Florence is ide-al for growing existing busi-nesses,” he said. “Their invest-ment and job creation will con-

“It’s important for everyoneto get a Valentine’s Day card,”the second-gradeGoodridgeEl-ementary School student said.“Everyone should get a gift orcard or something.”
ThisValentine’sDay,Collins,her Goodridge classmates, andstudents at Burlington Elemen-tary,made sure that veterans atthe Cincinnati VAMedical Cen-ter and the hospital’s FortThomas division received a to-ken of affection.
More than 580 cards weremadeby the schools, in partner-
ship with the Toyota VeteransAssociation, based out of Toyo-ta’s Hebron facility.
“The cards will go over verywell for the veterans,” saidToyota Veterans AssociationChairman Eric Carroll. “Thevalentines mean someone isthinking about them and caresabout the sacrifice they madefor our country. Many of theveterans there are long-term(patients) and rarely getmail orvisits, so this small token of theschools appreciation will dowonders and lift their spirits.”

nize the need to do some-thing kind for someoneelse,” she said. “We alsowant to thank the veteransfor their service.”
Goodridge Family Re-source Coordinator LauraMosqueda said the stu-dents were excited aboutmaking the cards. Initiallythe school had been askedto make just 75, but stu-dentsmademore than 200.
“Students at Goodridgeare very in tune with ourveterans,” she said. “Theylove the opportunity toshow their appreciationfor all they do.”
Goodridge second-grade student Ben Rich-ards said he enjoyed mak-ing cards for the veterans.“In my card I got to tellthem that I’m thankful forthem and that they’re im-portant to the country.”

tinue to provide a posi-tive economic impact tothe region.”
Starling said the suc-cess of the business isdue to a strong worthethic that she, co-ownerTony Coutsoftides andemployees put into prac-tice.
“The business is suc-cessful and the reputa-tion is solid,” she said. “Alot of hardworkhasgoneinto creating that. Youcan’t be good just oneday, but every day.”
Coutsoftides, whojoined Legion Logistics
about a year after Star-ling started the busi-ness, said the secret tothe success is “the re-lentless pursuit of per-fection.” At the start ofthe company, Coutsof-tides and Starling weremarried, but later real-ized they were better asbusiness partners.
Coutsoftides said thebiggest thing he’slearned throughout theirbusiness journey is: “Aslong as you don’t think oftheconsequencesand in-timidate yourself, you’llbe fine. You have todrive forward and be op-timistic every day andyou’ll find a way to suc-cess.”
Starling agreed. She
said there were mo-ments in the early stagesof Legion Logistics thatwere “terrifying.”
“The day my daugh-ter was born in March2011, we had only $63 inour checking account.That’s scary. We had puteverything into the busi-ness. When you’re in amake it or break it situa-tion, however, it focusesyou. And that makes youappreciate the momentwhen you become suc-cessful.”
Starling said the bot-tom line, is only half thesuccess, however. She’smost proud of creating asuccessful businessmodel andworking envi-ronment where “people
are excited about com-ing in.”
“That’s satisfying,she said. “You’re helpingpeople support theirfamilies. Our successhas been wonderful butmore important to me isthat we have employeeswho are happy.”
In addition to over-seeing the upcominggrowth of Legion Logis-tics, Starling ismaking avested interest in anoth-er company. She’ll serveas a minor stakeholderand advisor to a newsales recruiting firm,Sales Talent Specialist,also based in Florence.

ERLANGER — Sweetdreamsaremadeof – gen-erosity.
That’s the underlyingforce behind The Societyof St. Vincent de Paul’sSweet Dreams Bed Pro-gram, according to execu-tive director Ralph Brad-burn. Through the pro-gram the Erlanger-basedorganization suppliesnewbeds tochildren inneed. Itis the only one of its kindin Northern Kentucky.
“Every gift we’ve everbeen able to give has beenenabled through the gen-erosity of our donors,”Bradburn said. “It’s sonice for those receivingthese gifts to know thatthey are from their neigh-bors who care aboutthem.”
Recently the programreceived a $10,000 grantfromtheCharlesH.DaterFoundation, nearly$10,000 from the Honor-able Order of KentuckyColonels and a $3,500 ser-vice grant from the Dio-
ceseofCovington’sParishAppeal. With these dona-tions, 235 children havebeen provided a bed tosleep in this winter.
“Every child needs abed to feel safe and se-cure, to be warm, and toget a good night’s sleep,”Bradburn said. “When achild is forced to sleep ona chair, sofa or even thefloor,heorshe isnotgoingto be their best. The im-pact of those conditions isdevastating on the lives ofchildren as evidenced by
the loss of dignity and theloss of the opportunity todevelop normally in mindand body.”
Children who are sleepdeprived do not concen-trate as well or performwell on tasks.Evenworse,theymaybemore likely tobe depressed, sick orobese, Bradburn said. Re-searchersclaimthatsleepis very important forbrain development andalso for emotional regula-tion. Getting enough qual-ity sleep really mattersfor children, and thosewhoarepoorneed itmost.
“We’ve found that oncea bed is given, their atten-dance improves and ev-erything else picks up,”Bradburn said.
Since the programwasorganized 17 years, St.Vincent de Paul has dis-turbed 12,000 beds. Butthe need for beds has in-creased in recent years asaresult of thedownturn inthe economy.
“Last year, we distrib-uted 432 beds which ex-ceeded our expectationsand the need continues,”said St. Vincent de Paultransportation director
Joe Larison. “We antici-pate orders formore than500 beds this year. Just inJanuary, we delivered 98beds and we currentlyhave orders for over 100more which we expect todeliver this month.”
While the cold weathercontinues, the need forbeds for children heatsup, according to Brad-burn. Even more help isneeded.
He said residents canvisit svdpnky.org, to learnhow they can contributeto the program.

BURLINGTON — BooneCountyFiscalCourt unan-

Boone County Admin-istrator Jeff Earlywinesaid when inmates are re-leased and have no trans-portation, they can re-ceivearestrictedcab fareto their home or to a pointwhere public transit isavailable.
“The program hasbeen spending more thanwas appropriated at themidpoint of the fiscalyear,” Earlywine said.“Unfortunatelyweunder-standwhy...notonly is thecensus up, but the countyinmate census is up, sothat’s created a greaterneed.That fund isrunninglight. It’s not going tomake it until June 30.”
In a memo to Early-wine, director of Boone
County Human ServicesDepartment Laura Plei-man said the fiscal courtapproved $6,200 for in-mate transportation pro-vided by Community Cabfor the 2014 fiscal year.
Sixmonths into the fis-cal year, however, about$4,400 has already beeninvoiced for services, thememo reads, an averageof $736 a month.

Feb. 13, it was Saman-tha Schmitz’s time toshine. The Rebel made asurprising run to fourthplace in the KHSAA stategirls singles champion-ship at Collins EastlandLanes.
Schmitz had a remark-able run in qualifying,
shooting a near-perfect277 en route to a five-game total of 1,087, a 217average. Schmitz aver-aged 164 for the regularseason.
The series made herthe three seed in the step-ladder finals, requiringher to win three head-to-head matches to win thestate championship. Thetop seed had a bye to thefinals in this format.Schmitz struggled in herfirst match, shooting 135to 182 for Harrison Coun-ty’s Shaylee Carter to fin-ish fourth overall.
“It was very nerve-wracking,” Schmitz saidof the stepladder tourna-ment. “All the eyes are onyou and all the pressure ison and everyone’s quiet. Ikept adjusting asmuch asI could; I just couldn’t findthe shot. I honestly didn’texpect to get that far. I’ma good bowler, but I don’tconsider myself thatgreat, but to be bowlingwith some of the best inthe state and beat outsome of the best it’s great.I was very excited.”

WEBER/THE COMMUNITY
RECORDER
An offseason coach-ing change, a brutallydifficult schedule, and aslow start could haveeasily led to a rebuildingseason for the ThomasMore College men’s bas-ketball team. Instead theSaints’ five seniors andfirst-year head coachDrew Cooper rallied to-gether and turned theseason around. Afterstarting the season 2-9,the Saints entered the fi-nal week of the regularseason with a 12-10 markand a chance to earn atleast a share of the Presi-dents’ Athletic Confer-ence championship.
“Sure, there wasdoubt. Things are goingto be second-guessedany time a team startsthe season 2-9,” Coopersaid. “It’s natural towon-der if you’re on the rightpath. Being a first-yearcoach asking veteranplayers to make changesand to change philoso-phies is tough.”
The leadership of sen-iors Brandon Housley(Holmes), Josef Mar-shall, Spencer Berle-kamp, Eliot Pipes, andD’Carlo Hayes has beeninstrumental to theSaints’ turnaround.Thomas More won 10 ofits first 11 conferencecontests before fallingat Thiel on Feb. 15.
“We remained pa-tient,”Housley said. “Weknew thatwewould startto peak down the line.”
The seniors take ac-countability for morethan their own perfor-mance. They feel an obli-gation to help the under-classmen adapt to thenew system and style ofplay under Cooper’sstaff. They want to teachtheir teammates how towork hard, both on and
off the court.“As seniors, we have
to be on the same pageand fully understandthe offensive and defen-sive systems,” Housleysaid. “It’s our job tomake the underclass-men more efficient ingames and practices.”
Another key for theSaints has been theirdepth. Marshall missedthe first two months ofthe seasonwith a foot in-jury. Underclassmen,like freshman NateMcGovney (CampbellCounty), have emergedinto bigger roles. Theirdepth and balancehelped the players re-main calm during theearly season swoon.
“We knew that withthe players and leader-ship that we have, wewould get it on track,”McGovney said.
The Saints can go 10or more players deep ina game, and have had
four or more playersscore in double figuresin the same game onmultiple occasions. TheSaints set a school rec-ord with 18 made three-pointers - from nine dif-ferent scorers - in a Feb.8 win over Washingtonand Jefferson.
“Someone takes a dif-ferent role every half,not just every game,”Cooper said. “It’s re-markable.”
The Saints assist onmore than 50 percent oftheir made field goals,and average 16 assistscompared to just 12turnovers per game.The team’s field goalpercentage is betterthan last season’s, andhas steadily improvedover the course of thisseason. The playerstake pride in their un-selfishness.
“We have great team-work andwe love to passthe ball,” McGovneysaid. “We’re just as hap-py to get an assist as weare to score.”
Thomas More entersthe final week of theseason in third place inthe PAC, behind Betha-ny and St. Vincent. TheSaints travel to Bethanyon Feb. 19 and host St.Vincent in the regularseason finale on Feb. 22.They realize that theirpatience has paid offand they now controltheir own destiny asthey seek the program’sfirst regular seasonconference title since2009.
“We are playing veryunselfish basketballand are getting uncon-tested shots,” Coopersaid. “The players haveseen what we’re start-ing to do is working. Atthis point in the season,it’s a lot of fun.”

Nothing like a good de-bate to rouse the troopscomfortably entrenched intheir intellectual foxholes(two-thirds of Americansidentify more or less asevolutionists and one-thirdas creationists according toa recent Pew survey). Ver-bal barbs between campshave been traded since thefamous “Monkey Trial”sparked by Scopes – a na-tive Kentuckian by the way.
Nye’s participation in-terestingly drew the ire ofevolutionary scientists wholikened it to intellectualcondescension on par withdebating Cro-Magnon. Nyecontends that adherence toevolution is integral if notfoundational to good sci-ence. Never mind that theBiblical worldview held byPasteur, Pascal, Copernicusand Newton didn’t impedetheir scientific pursuits.Nor did it inhibit modernscientist Raymond Dama-dian from discovering mag-netic resonance imaging asHam pointed out.
There is no doubt inNye’s mind that the uni-verse is really old and be-gan with a Big Bang, yet hecouldn’t answer where theconsciousness that allowshim to think that thoughtcomes from in the firstplace. To exalt science asthe arbiter of all truth andreality is to coronate scien-tific man as more powerfulthan he really is.
Scientists are people.People are finite. By defini-tion, a finite creature islimited in his knowing.Even his observations arelimited by the constraintsof the human condition andsubject to change with thegathering of new informa-tion. This is not an excuse
to be igno-rant. It isinstead achallenge totemper hu-manity witha good doseof humility –the kind onpar neededby the af-flicted Jobwhen in-dignant withGod over his
suffering. God responded,“Where were you when Ilaid the foundation of theearth? Tell me, if you haveunderstanding. Who deter-mined its measurements-—surely you know!” (Job38:4-5a)
Evolution has yet toexplain where matter andenergy come from and howliving things spring fromnon-living matter. It has notanswered where intelli-gence or morality comefrom. And it is completelysilent in explaining how“survival of the fittest”comports with compassionand care for the sick anddying – of total strangers.These conundrums areevolving the debate andraise questions of who andwhat makes us human any-way.
Science has helped usgreatly understand ourphysical world. Coupledwith technology, it hashelped to make life betterand more livable. It hasfought disease and hungerand eliminated many toil-some burdens. It can mea-sure the chemical makeupof our bodies but it cannottell us what comprises thesoul. Science is good but itis not God.

When you talk about med-ical breakthroughs, a cure forcancer rises to the top.
While a cure for cancer isyet to be discovered, we have atool to prevent certain types ofcancer – the HPV vaccine. Yet,vaccination rates for pre-teens,who are recommended to getthe three-dose series, are sur-prisingly low. The Centers forDisease Control and Preven-tion found that only 33 percentof girls and 8 percent of boyshad been fully vaccinated in2012 (the rate for boys is lowerbecause the vaccine was morerecently recommended forthem).
HPV is short for humanpapillomavirus. About 79 mil-lion people in the UnitedStates, most in their teens andearly 20s, are infected withHPV.
Not only does HPV cause
almost allcervical can-cers in women,it is also re-sponsible forother types ofcancer. HPVcauses cancerin a variety ofplaces in bothmen and wom-en, includingthe mouth/throat, anus
and genitals. In the UnitedStates each year, there areabout 18,000 women and 7,000men affected by HPV-relatedcancers. Kentucky has theeighth highest rate of cervicalcancer in the country.
So how do we improve ourvaccination rates so we canchange this trend?
Timing is important: HPVvaccination is recommended at
age 11 or 12. Because the HPVvirus can be spread throughsexual activity, the vaccineoffers the greatest healthbenefits to individuals whoreceive all three doses beforehaving any type of sexual ac-tivity.
Eleven and 12 year olds arealready required to get otherimmunizations: a Tdap to pro-tect against tetanus, diphtheriaand pertussis; and a meningitisvaccine. The first dose of HPVcan safely and easily be givenduring the same visit as theother two shots (and odds arethe amount of protest or eye-rolling from your pre-teenwon’t rise too drastically fromshot No. 2 to No. 3).
We’re missing opportunitiesfor HPV vaccination, though.Nationally, 74 percent of pre-teens got a Tdap vaccinationand 84 percent got one for
meningitis. Let’s not think ofHPV vaccination as optional –the benefits are far too greatfor families to delay or declinethis vaccination.
Cost was once a concern,but it is no longer. The vaccineis covered byMedicaid andmany health insurance plans.For the uninsured the vaccinecan be expensive, but througha special grant, the health de-partment is offering the vac-cine to those ages 19 to 26years for just $4 per dose atour county health centers andthose 18 and under can receivethe vaccine through the Vac-cines for Children program.
Many parents hesitate togive their son or daughter theHPV vaccine because theyworry it might encourage sex-ual activity. A study in Pediat-rics released this month foundthat getting the HPV vaccina-
tion does not lead to riskiersexual activity among youngwomen. Previous studies havealso shown that the HPV vac-cine is not linked to increasedpromiscuity at an earlier age.
As it is with so many otherconditions, vaccination is thebest prevention tool available.Consider this: If 80 percent ofpre-teens were vaccinatedagainst HPV, we’d prevent4,400 future cases of cervicalcancer and 1,400 cancerdeaths. Simply put, the HPVvaccine is cancer prevention.Help protect your son ordaughter by making sure thathe/she gets all three doses ofHPV vaccine, starting at age 11or 12.

Heart disease is theNo. 1causeof illness and death for NorthAmericanwomen and killsmorewomen than all forms of cancercombined. February isWomen’sHeart HealthMonth, and it is agreat time for women to starttaking better care of their heartsall year round.
It’s important to know yourpersonal risk for heart disease andfamily history. Common risk fac-tors for heart disease includeelevated blood pressure, highcholesterol levels, smoking, diabe-tes, a sedentary lifestyle and over-weight or obesity.
Obesity increases women’s riskfor at least five leading causes ofdeath including heart disease,stroke, arteriosclerosis (hardeningof the arteries) and some types ofcancer.
Two of the best ways to im-prove your heart health is tochange your diet and to exercise.
You havemany different op-tions to change your diet for thebetter.Most of them include in-corporatingmore vegetables andfruits and fiber sources into yourdiet. TheU.S. Department of Agri-culture’sMy Plate encouragespeople to fill half of their plates
with fruits andvegetables. Fibernot only helpsprevent heartdisease but alsocan help preventdiabetes, manageweight and im-prove digestion.Good sources offiber are beans,barley and oats.
You can alsostart incorporat-
ingmoreMediterraneanmealsinto your diet. People inMediter-ranean countries tend to havelower rates of heart disease be-cause they eat a diet rich inmono-unsaturated fat and linolenic acid.They consumemore olive oil, fish,fruits and vegetables.
High blood pressure can be amajor contributing factor to heartdisease and arteriosclerosis. Ifyou have high blood pressure,learning to control it can greatlyreduce your risk of developingheart disease. TheDietary Ap-proaches to StopHypertension(DASH) diet has been proven tosignificantly lower blood pressure.This diet involves limiting yoursalt intake and consuming plenty
of fruits, vegetables, low-fat dairyproducts, fiber, and leanmeats.More information about theDASHdiet is available on theNational Heart, Lung andBloodInstitute’s website,bit.ly/kentondash.
More than two-thirds of Ken-tuckians are not active and 71percent of women in the statereport being sedentary. You canbecomemore heart healthy byincorporatingmoremovementinto your day. That doesn’t neces-sarilymean you have to spendhours at the gym. If you lead asedentary lifestyle, you can startsmall by doing things like takingthe stairs instead of the elevator,parking further away from a storeentrance, playing tagwith yourkids or walking around yourneighborhood. Every bit ofmove-ment helps.
Formore information onwaysyou can get healthy and protectyour heart, contact theKentonCounty office of theUniversity ofKentucky Cooperative ExtensionService at 356-3155.

FEBRUARY 20, 2014 • BCR RECORDER • B3LIFE
My friend, CharleneCastle, known as thedumplin’ queen aroundhere, is a Southern girlwho makes her dump-lings with soft, self-rising
flour andhot water.Shedoesn’tuse mea-suringcups; sheuses spe-cial bowlslike hermom. Realheirloomcooking.
“Roll them out, put themin the chicken and broth.They’ll thicken it,” shesaid.
I make dumplings, too,but mine are the kind youscoop up and plop on topof soup or stew. Fun tomake. GranddaughterEva, almost 6, is prettygood at making thesedumplings. It won’t belong before I get herlittle sis, Emerson, up onthe stool to help, as well.
No-peek herbeddumplings
First, have your soup,stew or even cannedbroth boiling. I like to putthese on top of chickensoup. The secret to fluffydumplings? Don’t peek!
1 cup all-purpose flour,spooned lightly into cupand leveled off
11⁄2 teaspoons bakingpowder
1⁄4 teaspoon each salt andpepper or to taste
Palmful fresh mincedparsley (optional)
1⁄2 cupmilk or bit more, ifneeded
3 tablespoons butter
Whisk flour, bakingpowder and salt together.Add parsley. Make a wellin center. Heat milk withbutter until butter melts.Pour into well and mix.Dough will look sort ofshaggy. Add a bit moremilk, if necessary. Don’tover mix. Sometimesthere’s a bit of dry mix-ture in the bottom of thebowl. Just leave it. Turnheat down on soup to
simmer. Use an icecream scoop sprayedwith cooking spray todrop dumplings carefullyon top of liquid, leavingspace in between forexpansion. Put lid on. Nopeeking! Simmer any-where from 8 to 10 min-utes, or until largestdumpling is done: cut inhalf to test. Dumplingwill be cooked throughand not soggy in middle.Dumplings expand todouble or even triple.Depending upon size,you’ll get eight or more.
Quick beefstroganoff
I only know her by herfirst name, Sherry. Wealmost collided at thestore. Sherry was buyingingredients for this reci-pe and when I told her itsounded so good, shegave me her copy! “Ihave another at home,”she said. I followed herrecipe pretty close, witha few adaptations. Worthsharing!
1pound flank steakOlive oil1 cup chopped onion1⁄2 to 3⁄4 teaspoonmincedgarlic (optional)
Salt and pepper to tasteHot paprika or a littlecayenne, to taste
6-8 oz. fresh exoticmushrooms or regularmushrooms, sliced
11⁄2 cups beef broth1 tablespoon plus 2teaspoons flour
1⁄3 cup sour cream plus morefor garnish
Several green onions, slicedNice pat of butter, about atablespoon or so
Cooked noodles
Slice beef across grain1⁄4-inch wide strips, thencut strips in half. Filmbottom of pan with oiland heat to medium high.Add beef and cook untilbrowned, about 5 min-utes. Remove and addonion, garlic, seasoningsand mushrooms to panand cook until mush-rooms are tender, addinga bit more oil if neces-sary. Reduce heat tomedium. Mix 1⁄4 cup beef
broth with flour to makea paste. Add to pan alongwith beef, stirring well.Stir in 1-1⁄4 cups broth,cover and cook untilsauce thickens. Adjustseasonings. Stir in sourcream, green onions andbutter. Serve over noo-dles and pass sourcream.
Can you help?Thriftway’s tortellini
salad. Western Hillsreader MarkWigger-shaus would like to havethis recipe or somethingsimilar. “It had an earthytaste and was very good,”Mark said.
Like Frisch’s or Jock’sbatter for deep-fried fish.Reader Tom Ohmerwould love to have asimilar recipe.
Blue Ash Chili’s coles-law.
Reader Mike R. said:“Everywhere I go, I nev-er find two coleslawsalike. Everyone has hisor her own taste andingredients. In my per-sonal opinion, Blue AshChili in has the best co-leslaw, creamy andsweet. Does anyone havea recipe for this versionof slaw?”

Motorvehiclerepairscontinueto top thelist ofconsumercom-plaintsreceivedby theOhio At-
torney General. In mostcases, that office is verylimited in its ability tohelp solve the consumerproblems.
That’s why Ohio StateSen. Joe Uecker (R-Mi-ami Township) has in-troduced legislation thatwould require mechanicrepair facilities to belicensed. Right now there
are more than 4,000 suchrepair shops operatingwithout any oversight.Only body repair shopsare currently licensed inOhio.
“This bill will not onlylevel the playing field, itwill also protect consum-ers by ensuring busi-nesses have proper liabil-ity insurance shouldsomething happen totheir vehicle while at therepair shop,” Ueckersaid.
The state licensingagency would also helpresolve complaints filedby vehicle owners, suchas Kimberly Thorpe ofLiberty Township. Shewas told she needed anew engine for her 2004Chrysler Sebring. So, shetook it to a repair shopwhere, she said, it sat formore than a year.
Thorpe eventuallytook the vehicle to a deal-ership and was told some
parts were missing. Inaddition, she was told anew engine would cost$5,500 to $6,000 – yet shehad already spent morethan two-thirds thatamount with that firstrepair shop.
Thorpe says she gavethat first shop owner onemore chance to fix thevehicle, but she never gother engine. Instead shehas parts in the back seatand the trunk of her vehi-cle, but no engine underthe hood.
Angel Hale-Frater, ofBlue Ash, is also upsetwith the dealership towhich she took her over-heating SUV. She paid$1,500 for the repair but,after getting it back, shediscovered the SUVwasstill overheating. Shereturned the vehicle tothe dealership and saidthe manager told her,“Wemake mistakes allthe time.” Then she was
told new repairs neededwould cost nearly doublewhat she had alreadypaid.
“If they had presentedme with, ‘Your car needsupwards of $2,000 plus ofwork,’ I would have said,‘No.’ I bought it sevenyears ago, it had 35,000miles on it, its now got130,000 miles,” Hale-Frater said.
Fortunately, afterfiling a complaint withme, the dealershipagreed to deduct the costof that first repair fromHale-Frater’s second bill.However, she still endedup paying more than$2,000 for the repairs.
Uecker said he hopesthe repair shop licensinglegislation will be passedby the end of this year. Isuggested, and the legis-lature will consider, re-quiring shop owners topost a small bond. Thatwould assure vehicle
owners get compensatedshould there be a prob-lem collecting from arepair shop
“The board could ver-ify and monitor compli-ance with state laws,giving consumers theability to identify thoseservice centers that areregistered. Every Ohioandeserves to feel confi-dent that repairs on theirvehicles are performedsafely and professional-ly,” Uecker said.
No such licensing iscurrently required inKentucky. If you’d like toexpress your feelingsabout the bill write toSen.Joe Uecker at [email protected].

Question: Someonetold me it’s a good idea tothrow down grass seedon top of the snow, and itwill grow in the spring. Isthat true?
Answer: We recom-mend cool-season grass-es here, including blue-grass, the fescues, andperennial rye grass. Wedon’t recommend throw-ing down grass seed onthe snow, since that leadsto very uneven seeddistribution when thesnowsmelt and waterruns down slopes and offthe lawn. However, assoon as the snowmeltsand the ground is not toowet, it’s fine to go aheadand scatter grass seedover your lawn to dosome over-seeding. Mid-February through lateMarch is a good time tosow cool-season grassseed. Once the ground isno longer frozen or mud-dy, you can even rent aslit seeder to get goodseed to soil contact aswell as a more uniformdistribution of seed.EarlyMarch seedingsusually have fewer prob-lems with weed competi-
tion thanApril/Mayseedings.
Prob-lem lawnsin North-ern Ken-tucky withshade,poor soil,or heavytrafficshould
almost always be estab-lished with tall fescue.Fine (red) fescue andperennial rye grass alsohave some limited usesin lawns. Bluegrass seedstakemuch longer to ger-minate, and eventuallythatch buildup can be-come a problem, requir-ing de-thatching.
Do a soil test (freethrough your local North-ern Kentucky countyextension service) now todetermine the exact limeand fertilizer needs ofyour lawn. Excess limecan result in poor nutri-ent uptake. Only by hav-ing your soil tested willyou knowwhether or notyou should add lime,phosphorus and potassi-um to your lawn soil.
Ideally, seeding ofnew lawns should bedone into loose, preparedsoil. Seeding is usuallydone with a rotary seederor the usual drop-typeseed and fertilizerspreader. To determinethe proper seeding rates,ask for a copy of Cooper-ative Extension publica-tion, “Selecting the RightGrass for Your KentuckyLawn (AGR-52).” Foruniform distribution,divide the seed into twoequal lots. The second lotshould be seeded at rightangles to the first. Coverthe seed by raking lightlyor rolling with a water-ballast roller. Mulch thearea with clean straw.Themulch coveringshould be thin enough toexpose about 50 percentof the soil surface, whichmeans using about onebale of straw per 1,000square feet of area. Ifsnows and rains cease,water the new grassseedlings often, but light-ly. For weed control,refer to CooperativeExtension publication,“Weed Control Recom-mendations for KentuckyBluegrass and Tall Fes-cue Lawns and Recre-ational Turf (AGR-78).”

St. Elizabeth Health-care, Patterson Medicaland Advanced Technol-ogies were invited stu-dents from the College ofMount St. Joseph’s physi-cal therapy, Xavier Uni-versity’s occupationaltherapy programs, andthe University of Cincin-nati’s physical therapy toduel in plastic at the Cin-cinnati area’s third annualCrosstown Splint Off.
“Many of these stu-dents have no idea how touse splinting materialswhen they start helpingpatients,” said Meg Rob-inson, St. Elizabeth occu-pational therapistandcer-tified hand therapist.“This friendly competi-tion will give them achance to feel comfort-able with the material be-fore having to put it on aperson.”
Occupational thera-pists use activity and ex-ercise to help patients re-store ability to return towork or job duties and im-prove self-care skills fol-lowing an injury or ill-ness. Recovery often in-cludes splinting. Physicaltherapists also may haveto splint a patient.
“It’s tricky to use ther-moplasticbecause ithard-ens quickly. You have toformthesplintmaterial toconform to a particularbodypartduringthethreeto five minutes that thematerial is flexible. Youwait too longandyouhaveto reheat or the splintmight not fit,” said Robin-son, who noticed studentsstruggling to shapesplints during yearly lec-tures at Xavier. “We wanttherapy students to feelmore comfortable with
splinting, learn the basicqualities of various splintmaterials and most of allnot be so nervous, andhave fun!”
The three- to four-member teams that vie inthe Splint Off will build asculpture that representsa current or emergingarea of therapy practicein someway. Each projectmust include three differ-ent splint materials andno more than four non-splint components. Pro-jects must demonstratethe draping, molding, andbonding ability of the ma-terials, include a cylinderor curved structure, con-tain some square edges,and represent the school.The project base can’t ex-ceed 8.5 inches by11 inch-es.

Northern Kentucky AffordableCare Health Insurance
EXPOSED !Who Benefits from the new affordable care health
insurance?
Adjusted Gross Income Oldest Family Member Age Premium Tax Credit Actual Premium Cost$50,000 30 $834 $442 $391.60$50,000 35 $903 $511 $391.60$50,000 40 $939 $548 $391.60$50,000 45 $1061 $670 $391.60$50,000 50 $1312 $921 $391.60
From our extensive research, we have found that most people will benefit from Obama Care. The overwhelming fact isthat middle class families will have more coverage and lower premiums under theAffordable CareAct. I will list some keybenefits that I have found:
1. Less expensive premiums for working class families2. No pre-existing conditions exclusions3. No limit on your total health insurance benefit4. We found it is much easier to understand what is covered underyour policy
5. It is much easier to compare plans between competinginsurance companies
6. GONE is the stringent underwriting designed to turn down thevery people that needed health insurance
7. More competition based off of service and individual needsless about insurance profits and negotiated network rates
8. A single market place to shop and compare health insurancequotes “kyconnect”
9. Broader coverage’s are included in all policies like maternitycare coverage
10. A brand new non profit insurance company “Kentucky HealthCoop” designed to compete with the established companies
Below are some real life examples of what you will pay forKentucky Health Insurance.
Example based on a family of 4. As you will see by the example, the premium you pay is based on your income, not the
premium cost.
So what makes us different from everyone else?Much like other government initiated programs, it is extremely important to have someone working for you that knows yourinsurance qualifications. We have seen many problems with the implementation of the Affordable Care Act. There can be confusionas to the amount of your income. Your income is based on your federal tax return modified adjusted gross income. It is not basedon your W2. Certain income sources don’t count as income, like disability or child support. It is also important to have an agentthat understands your individual needs, like is your doctor or pediatrician included in an insurance company’s network, or whatis the cost of your prescription medication under the different insurance policies? We are experienced health insurance agents.We will walk you through the confusion and help you make the choice that best fits your needs.You can call us or fill out the quoteform above and we will contact you!

The Florence Rotaryclub recently hostedBecky Sittason, directorofdevelopmentatUniver-sity of Cincinnati MedicalCenter. After providing abrief overview of theworkatUCHealth todiag-nose, treat and preventcancer, she introduced anew building renovationproject called RoomsThat Rock 4 Chemo.
Sittason provided sta-tistics from the AmericanCancer Society.
“The lifetime probabil-ities for cancer are over-whelming: one out ofthree females and one intwo males will have can-cer at some point in theirlives,” she said.
Sittason also pointedout UC Health is unique –it is the only academichealth center in this area.This means it has the fullforceof researchandedu-cation at the core of ev-erything it does. The de-sire to develop a world-class cancer center is notjust about being the best;she said the staff believesno one should ever leavethe Greater Cincinnatiarea for cancer care.
Currently, as an aca-demic health center, itseeks the coveted Nation-al Cancer Institute (NCI)designation.This isapart-nership between UCHealth, UC University,and Cincinnati Children’sHospital to become a NCIdesignated CincinnatiCancer Center.
“Wewant to be the bestof the best. You know ev-eryone says they are thebest, but being NCI certi-
fied is more than sayingwe are the best,” Sittasonsaid. “It is a multi-yearprocess thatwill include anational advisory board.Currently, the closestNCIfacility is in Lexington.There aremore than1,500cancer centers in theU.S.,but only 68 have NCI des-ignation. We want to be inthat top 4 percent.”
Located on the UCMedicalCentercampus inClifton is the Barrett Cen-ter for outpatient care.This high-impact centertreats 10,000 chemothera-py and radiation patientsper year.Many cancer pa-tients spend hours in theimpersonal outpatientchemo facilities. Sittasonseeks tochangethiswithaprogram called RoomsThat Rock 4 Chemo.
“Research shows thephysical environment im-pacts ability to heal andhave a positive attitude,”Sittason said.
Sittason is rallying lo-cal resources to createpositive, healing, uplift-ingspaces thatspiritually,emotionally and physical-ly support patients deal-ing with chemotherapy.She will do this via a vol-unteer driven, HGTVstyle transformation overtwo weekends in Aprilthat will be led by CoraSue Anthony of “Real Es-tate Intervention” fame.
Transforming these fa-cilities, and thereby thelives and thewell-being ofcancer patients and theirfamilies, is not free. Pro-viding the creativity andinterior design that willbe needed requires good-heartedpeople to step for-ward. Sittason needs toraise $90,000 in the nextfew months. If you arewilling and able tomake agift, you can contact Sitta-son at [email protected] orthe UC Medical Office at513-584-8540.

Have you everstopped to think about allthe things that feed us?
I’m not just talkingabout nutrition. We usefood to fill our stomachs,but we use other thingsto feed us as well. We userelationships, jobs,books, shows and apps.They all serve a purposeto feed our emotions andmeet our needs in someway. And when asked, wemight say we can’t livewithout them, but thetruth is, we can. It wouldbe gut-wrenching to losea spouse, child, or parentfor sure, and our liveswould be foreverchanged, but physicallyour bodies would sur-vive. The same is nottrue for food. Our bodiesneed nutrition to func-tion. It would be phys-ically impossible for usto survive for a longperiod without food.
Interestingly, we’re
told intwo dis-tinctplaces inthe Biblethat foodis not theonlything weneed tosurvive.In Deu-terono-my 8:3
andMatthew 4:4 (also inLuke 4:4), we are told, “Itis written that man shallnot live by bread alone,but by every word thatproceeds from the mouthof the Lord.”
Now if this is true,many of us are dyingtoday. We try to sustainour lives through self-help books, TV shows,relationships, gymmem-berships. None of whichare hurtful in and ofthemselves, but none cansustain us unless they arecoupled with God’s word.Not to mention, if youhave ever lost a lovedone, then you know alltoo well that even themost wonderful relation-ship has an ending on thisEarth.
So many of us need afresh start today; we are
desperate for a new life,a new approach, a newway of thinking. If you’relooking for a fresh starttoday, look in the book ofJames; “Every good giftand every perfect gift isfrom above, and comesdown from the father oflights, with whom thereis no variation or shadowof turning.” (James 1:17).
In other words, Godhas great and perfectgifts waiting for all whowant a relationship withhim. There is no one likehim and he neverchanges and he neverleaves.
May you be blessedwith the gift of experi-encing a fresh start and anew relationship thisweek.

The recent economicrecession hit many Amer-icans hard. If you’re overthe age of 55 and are look-ing for employment, youare not alone. The Bureau
of LaborStatisticsreportedthat theunemploy-ment ratefor olderworkerswas 5.3percent inAugust2013. Whilelong-termunemploy-
ment rose substantiallyacross demographics, itoccurred at a greater ratefor older workers com-pared to younger workers.Nearly 50 percent of un-employed older workershave been actively seek-ing employment formorethan sixmonths.
The 2012 report by theGovernment Accountabil-ity Office found that olderworkers face severalchallenges to obtaining orregaining employmentincluding high salaryexpectations, expensivehealth benefits, out-of-date skills and visiblefrustration during jobinterviews.
If you are currentlyreceiving Social Securitybenefits and are thinkingabout re-entering thework force to supplementyour income, you shouldrealize that paid employ-ment could affect yourbenefits. If you work andare older than full retire-ment age, youmay keepall of your benefits de-
spite your earningsamount. Full retirementage for those born be-tween Jan. 2, 1943, andJan. 1, 1955, is 66. In 2014,workers younger than fullretirement age receivingSocial Security will havetheir benefits reduced $1from every $2 theyearned over $15,480.Those receiving SocialSecurity benefits who willreach full retirement agein 2014 will have theirbenefits reduced by $1 forevery $3 they earned over$41,400 until they reachtheir birthmonth. Contactthe local Social Securityoffice to find out theamount you can earnwhile receiving SocialSecurity payments.
Many employers valueolder workers for theirexperience, work ethicandmentoring abilitiesand are willing to hireolder adults. Make a list ofwhat you want and expectin a job. Do you want to bearound people, work in anoffice, or only work cer-tain days of the week?Take some time to brushup on your interviewingskills and practice an-swers to commonly askedquestions. Look over yourjob history and resumeand update as needed andlearn to apply for jobson-line. The better pre-pared you are to re-enterthe workforce, themoresuccessful you will likelybe.

Thousands turn toTheLeukemia & LymphomaSociety’s Team In Train-ing because of its reputa-tion as the world’s lead-ing endurance sportscharity training pro-gram.
Raising funds to sup-port life-saving cancerresearch also appeal tothem, as many partici-pants have a connectionto themission of the swo-ciety.
For Molly and RyanRebholz,JohnandMelan-ie Lipps, Cameron andMary Simoneau, andBrandonHoehn and Ash-ley Smith, Team InTrain-ing not only impactedtheir way of life, but itchanged the course oftheir lives.
Now, the Tristatechapter of The Leukemia& Lymphoma Society iscelebrating with them asthree couples welcomenew babies, and HoehnandSmithbegincountingdown the days to theirwedding. Through theTeam In Training, thesecouples were able tomeet their soul mates,and create lifelongfriendships with eachother as well.
Molly joined Team InTraining in 2007 in mem-ory of her aunt, andRyanbegan training with theteam in 2008 in honor ofhis nephew, Sawyer, whowas battling acute my-eloid leukemia. WithTeam in Training theybenefitted from expertcoaching and the oppor-tunity to be part of a sup-portive team. Both likedthe thought of meetingpeoplewith similar inter-ests and fitness goals.First, the twowereenjoy-
ing the many friendshipsthey made while trainingfor the Flying Pig Mara-thon in 2008, but the bondthey felt as teammatesdeveloped into some-thing stronger. Theycompleted the Rock NRoll Marathon, together,in Seattle in June 2009,and in August 2011, Ryanand Molly got married.Just before Ryan com-pleted America’s Beauti-ful Bike Ride in Lake Ta-hoe, raising more $3,000forTheLeukemia&Lym-phoma Society, he andMolly announced thatthey were expectingtheir first child. In No-vember 2013, Molly andRyan welcomed LoganPatrick, into their lives.
Similarly, John andMelanie met in 2007when they were trainingfor the Flying Pig Mara-thon with Team In Train-ing. The bond they feltthrough the mission ofthe society led to a ro-mance, and they also gotmarried in August 2011.Melanie and John con-
tinued to support theteam as coaches for theprogram and helped hun-dreds of participantscross the finish line, eventhough Melanie was sixmonths pregnant. In2012, they welcomedtheir first baby girl, Jor-dyn, and just broughttheir second child, Joce-lyn, into the world in De-cember.
Cameron and Maryalso met during trainingin2007duringspringsea-son when they were bothtraining for the FlyingPig Marathon in honor ofloved ones. Mary’s moth-er was battling non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma atthe time and is now can-cer free, and Cameronwas drawn to the organi-zation because his grand-mother passed from leu-kemia. Their love bud-ded,andtheygotmarriedin June 2009. In 2010 Ma-ry and Cameron openedTri-State Running Com-pany in Edgewood, andthe store has since been apartner with Team In
Training. Cameron andMary have a daughter,Reagan, and just hadtheirsecondchild,Brady,in January.
Brandon completedhis firstTeamInTrainingevent in2011at theFlyingPigMarathon, andhemetAshley when she beganattending workouts totrain for theMadridMar-athon in thefall of2011. InApril 2012 they complet-ed the Madrid Marathontogether, and have sincecompleted eight othermarathon or half mara-thons together. Team InTraining has played suchan important role in theirlives that Brandon pro-posed to Ashley in Octo-ber 2013 at a Team InTraining group workout.
“Being a part of TeamIn Training was a life-changing experience,”saidBrandon. “Iwas ableto accomplish my goal ofcompleting a marathonwhile doing something tohelp other people, andfinding somebody toshare it all with made iteven more meaningful.”
Team In Training’s in-dividualized trainingprogram enables partici-pants to realize theirdream of completing amarathon, half mara-thon, triathlon, centuryride or hike adventure.

The Home BuildersAssociation of NorthernKentucky recently re-leased its data on newhomeconstructionandre-modeling for 2013.
“2013 was a year of re-covery formany in our in-dustry,” saidBrianMiller,executive vice presidentof the Home Builders As-sociation of NorthernKentucky. “Many of ourbuilders have been expe-riencing a significant im-provement in starts.Boone County continuesto shine as the fastestgrowing county as con-struction of single familyhomes increased 30 per-cent over 2012. Kentongrewamere3percentand
Campbell County con-tinued to lose ground over2012.
“The availability of de-veloped home sites inBoone County is helpinggrowth at the moment.Therearefewernewcom-munities in Kenton Coun-ty and Campbell is re-strained by geographicalchallenges and availabil-ity of sanitary sewer ser-vices.
“The value of newhomes has increased onaverage just over 11 per-cent in Northern Ken-tuckywhich is close to thenational average,” Millersaid. “While we are veryhappy to see the marketcontinue its recovery we
are concerned by seriousheadwinds facing our in-dustry including SanitarySewercapacity, the inabil-ity for small builders anddevelopers to secure fi-nancing and the ever in-creasing strangleholdthat environmental regu-lation places upon North-ern Kentucky.”

Highschool art club studentsfrom Beechwood, DixieHeights, Simon Kenton,St. Henry District HighSchool, and Villa Madon-naAcademy have created30 one-of-a-kind pin-wheel-themed windchimes exclusively forthe gala’s live auction. Inaddition to the windchimes, students atBooneCounty Area TechnologyCenter have developed apinwheel-themed indoor/outdoor water feature forthe live auction’s finale.

minder of the bright andcarefree future that allchildren deserve.
